Todd Young on Gun Control

Repeal Assault Weapons Ban & most gun control laws

The Second Amendment is the law of the land. It protects our right to keep and bear arms. To me, that could not be clearer. I will use the prestige of elected office to publicly promote that right.

Any law that infringes upon the rights of law abiding
citizens is not constitutional. Most gun control laws do just this. I would work to reverse the most oppressive section of the 1968 Gun Control Act. I believe the "Assault Weapons Ban" of 1994 was bad legislation that needed to be repealed.

The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.

The CC survey summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Further restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms"

Allow veterans to register unlicensed guns acquired abroad.

Young co-sponsored Veterans' Heritage Firearms Act

Provides a 90-day amnesty period during which veterans and their family members can register in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record any firearm acquired before October 31, 1968, by a veteran while a member of the Armed Forces stationed outside the continental United States.

Grants such an individual limited immunity with respect to the acquisition, possession, transportation, or alteration of such firearm before or concurrent with such registration.

Extends such immunity to a veteran who attempts to register a qualifying firearm outside of the amnesty period if the veteran surrenders the firearm within 30 days after being notified of potential criminal liability for continued possession.

Transfers each firearm qualifying as a curio or relic which has been forfeited to the United States to the first qualified museum that requests it

Publishes information identifying each such firearm which is available to be transferred to a museum.

Makes a prohibition against transfer or possession of a machine-gun inapplicable to museums.
